A glimpse on ForumSpark 2.0
I'll keep this one relatively short, because I don't want to give too much away just yet - but there's enough to talk about that it felt wrong to stay quiet any longer. And I can't contain my excitement personally.ForumSpark 2.0 is in active development.As most of you know, Mace has recently joined...
I'm excited for 2.0! It just keeps getting better!
Thought I’d share a few screenshots of what’s coming. 🙂
There are a couple of new features, a lot of redesign work going on, and so far we’ve already changed over 700 files. 😅 So it’s safe to say this is basically a completely reinvented version of the software.
There will be more customization possibilities, more features, better optimization, and more. We’ve also added a new AI topic summary feature, several smart and live additions that help make a community feel more alive instead of static, and a much-improved search system.
I’m really excited to bring this new version to you soon. There’s no ETA yet, and I don’t want to reveal too much just now, but enjoy these new screenshots. ☺️
Some things are still subject to change.
Excited to see there's a built-in divider for sticky/pinned threads with this update.
One of the new features coming in 2.0 is bulk emails.
Keeping your community informed about changes, updates, and improvements is important, and soon you’ll be able to do that directly from ForumSpark.
Bulk emails will also include a few smart segments, allowing you to tailor newsletters based on member activity. For example, you’ll be able to target members who were active in the last 30 days, inactive for more than 30 days, members who have never posted, or members who joined within the last 7 days.
Premium users will get access to more advanced analytics, additional settings, and extra options to fine-tune their email campaigns.
I was actually going to suggest this(well similar) but decided not to since you're so busy working on 2.0. 😂 Very very nice!
Clubs are completely redesigned from the ground up in v2.0 😎
And our Link Directory has also been refreshed using the same side navigation.
There's a few polishes needed to be done, but I wanted to share this preview anyhow. 🙂
It's all coming together nicely!
Among the many new things comes a new User CP:
There are also new features such as ignoring/blocking. While this isn't new, you can now force an ignore between members, topics and forums. Additionally, you can alternatively ban certain members from topics and forums in case they cannot act properly.
And for those who paid attention, you see a glimpse of the new profile page including Status Updates. 😜
As a side note: development has been going great and we are nearing completion soon.
